The One who had been the Commander of angels in heaven now served faithfully and cheerfully in a peasant’s home. The mind and body of Jesus were strengthened as He worked. He was just as perfect as a worker as He was in character.

By His example , He taught that it is our duty to be good workers in whatever we do, even as children. Hard work is honorable and should be done faithfully and well. God created work to be a blessing. True joy in life only comes to those who work faithfully at whatever they do.

God lovingly approves of children and youth who cheerfully help their parents in the home. Children like that will go on to become valuable members of society.
